WHAT with mothers making satirical
comments on "old maids" the society
papers giving such prominence to en-
gagements and weddings and the novels
mainly leading up to courtship and mar
riage, it is no wonder that most young
women look upon marriage as the chief
event, and are led to think that even a
bad marriage is better than none at all.
Parents could, if they would, correct
the last stated supposition and impress
upon their daughters that nothing could
well be more unfortunate than an un+
suitable match, but the mothers are Of
ten coachers and the fathers ignore the
whole subject until it is brought direct>
ly to their consideration by the an
nouncement that things have reached
crisis. The young women ought to dis
miss the idea of marriage unless it
comes properly recommended, and feel
that they have homes so long as their
parents have one, and that they can
maintain themselves in the last resort.
In other words, they ought never to get
into way of thinking that it is better
to marry imprudently than remain SIM
gle and exposed to absurd comment
thereby. Hasty and injudicious mar
riages are constantly causing grief and
modification, and there should be a
more settled concentration of opinion
against them instead of a world of pratt
tie which encourages them. Fathers
might well spare little time from busi-
ness and talk as freely with their daugh-
ters on this subject as they do with their
sons.-Pittsburgh Chronicle.

Sunday In London.

II London is the duliest city IN Europe
Sunday the country surrounding it and the
river cannot be called quiet on that day. The
greater part Of the middle class people OF
London make it point to get out Of the city
on some kind OF froli~ every pleasant Sun
day during the summer. Every place Of
amusement in London Is closed Sunday, and
extra price is charged at the Geological gar
dens, and everything made as dismal As il b
possible. To the very great number Of Lon
don drunkards, however, concession is
made. After church is over in the morning
every liquor saloon, or public, as they call
them, is open until midnight. So by the time
evening comes about the only persons to be
seen on the streets are either drunk or well
on the way to being 50. This kind Of
crowd naturally drives respectable people 10
the suburbs, and the favorits picnic places
are Maidenhead and Richmo6d, both Of
which have good facilities for boating. Lon

The New York Tribune in comment
ing on the platform of the political Pro-
hibitionists in that State says: The third
resolution declares that "the extinction
of the liquor trace can never be secured
through any system which confers liz
cense or levies tax upon 1t. Neither
can its extinction be secured by Prohi-
bition, for liquor is daily bought and
sold as beverage in Maine and Iowa.
All experience teaches that the entire
extinction of the traffic is not attainable
What, then, is the duty of temperance
man-to enact prohibition which cam
not be entirely enforced, or restriction
which can be? Sincere men do and
must differ in opinion of that question
but no honest Prohibitionist will pre-
tend that all who differ with him are
"subservient to the rum power"

THE Savannah News (Demoeratic)
says: "Yes, the Forakers, Tuttles and
Fairchilds want to compel the South to
admit that she was wrong in the late
contest and get down on her knees and
beg forgiveness. They will have re-
turned to dust before she does anything
of that kind"

ACCORDING to the Enquirer's own
version of Gov. Wilson's speeches at
Wheeling, they were the bitterest and
most insulting partisan harangues ever
uttered at any meeting of any character
whatever. Even the New York Herald
correspondent, who has no admiration
for Foraker, declares that Wilson s
words were inexcusable at soldiers
meeting, and that as he struck the first
blow be was responsible for the contro
versy which followed.

His Unusual Power of Putting Things"
How He Acquired 1t.
More interesting, however, than the ex-
periences of those who listened TO him are tbs
comments of Lincoln himself on the methods
by which he acquired his powers as an orator.
A clergyman who was among his auditors on
one of these occasions has recorded the follow
ing as among his statements in a converse
tion he held with him in railroad car:
"'Ahi that reminds me- he said, of most
extraordinary circumstance which occurred
in New Haven the other day. They told me
that the professor of rhetoric in Yale college
"a very learned man, isn't heP Yes, sir.
and very fine critic too We'll, suppose
so; he ought to be at any rate-they told me
that he came to hear me, and took notes OF
my speech, and gave lecture on it to his
class the next day; and, not satisfied with
that, he followed me up to Meriden the next
evening, and heard me again for the same
purpose. Now, if this is so, it is to my mind
very extraordinary. l have been sufficiently
astonished at my success in the west. 1t has
been most unexpected. But had no thought
of any marked success st the east and, least
of all, that / should draw out such COM
mendations from literary and learned menr
That suggests, Mr.. Lincoln, an inquiry
which has several times been upon my lips
during this conversation. want very much

The discourtesy of Gov. Wilson at
Wheeling is made more apparent. when
it is remembered that he referred to the
frauds of '76, knowing full well that

amount spent yearly in this country on
